Beyond The Broken Spectrum

Currently the federal debt sits at $11.95 trillion, up from the $10.6 trillion debt that was inherited from the Bush administration. The Democrats will have to increase the debt limit in order to continue forward with their spending spree though, and many of them are seeking cover over it, even though the Republicans voted to increase the limit seven times during their majority hold on congress.

So how will they seek to raise the debt limit? Naturally they will likely be attaching it to an important defense department spending bill and promote it as supporting the troops while keeping mum on the debt limit increase that they voted for as well.

We can’t afford it, but they’ll just keep on spending to promote an aggressive, costly foreign policy, social engineering programs, and of course, the real people that a large majority of politicians work for, government contracts for lobbying businesses. How much longer before the world dumps us on our ass because we kept electing fiscally irresponsible people?

Is it even right that we are spending our children’s money recklessly? Would you be able to look your children in the eye and tell them that your support of politicians that recklessly spend the citizen’s money will place a heavy tax burden on them? Have you educated your children about the importance of being open minded and to be vigilant in searching out good people to represent we the people?

If you’re in your 20’s, what have you done politically so far, have you voted? Don’t believe it for a moment that your vote doesn’t matter, because when like minded people come together to vote for a worthy candidate or cause, it helps to take us in directions that the old guard would never allow. You have the power to make your life better by being politically active, seize the power and wield it!
